Kyler Brown is a sports rehab chiropractor who specializes in injury recovery, pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, and guiding clients from rehab back to peak performance. As co-founder of the private training program 10 Squared alongside Peter, Kyler shares his approach to injury prevention and performance optimization—highlighting how overlooked movement patterns can quietly lead to chronic issues over time. He outlines a practical framework for assessing and treating individuals, highlights the importance of understanding movement dynamics and asymmetries, and discusses personalized rehab strategies through real-world case studies. The conversation also explores the psychological side of recovery, including the role of fear and mental barriers in rehabilitation. Kyler shares actionable tools to evaluate movement patterns and implement training strategies that support long-term strength and health.
A companion video series demonstrating exercises for common problem areas—such as the lower back, neck, shoulders, and knees—is available exclusively to subscribers on the show notes page.
